This show isn't about sex -- the word (and explicit tags) are just there to get your attention. These are reflections on podcasting by an early community radio organizer. Contains how-to tips, podcasting observations and music influenced by my 70's rock, blues, folk background. Shows are about 10 minutes - half talk, half BMI licensed music.

Yup. I've decided to wrap up Sex and Podcasting and move on. I should have done this about a month ago, but hey, who's perfect? As I said back then, I've run out of things to say about community podcasting. I've decided to do a new podcast rather than dilute the (I think pretty cool) message of Sex and Podcasting. I hope you'll swing over to GeezerCast and check out the new stuff over there. This show tries to hit the high spots of the Sex and Podcasting manifesto -- "how-to podcasting", the role of money in podcasting and why I think there's room for lots of podcasters out there, the role that podcasters can play in larger society, and like that.

I love living in the country and would quite like to start a business here so that I could earn my living in the country as well. But the infrastructure that an entrepreneur needs (a local business community, smart people, local capital) has drained away. It’s my opinion that it’s too late to [...]

Once upon a time I was appointed by the mayor of St Paul to head a commission to take a look at the Y2k problem. I met a lot of interesting people, and one of the most interesting groups were folks characterized as “Doomers” — those who thought that Y2k would bring on “the [...]

A guy named Joseph Medawar got visited by the FBI last week for allegedly bilking people out of $5.5 million for a television show supposedly endorsed by President Bush. Hucksters like this are always of interest to me as a few of them have walked off with some of *my* money over the years. [...]

This is the first show since I’ve given myself permission to drift a little ways away from the “community podcasting” topic. Hunting season is starting here in Western Wisconsin and I thought I’d share a few observations. Heck, there’s even a community podcasting tie-in (I’ll see if I can pull that off even [...]

Dang! I’ve kinda run out of things to say about community podcasting… So I’m pondering a course-change to give myself a little more wiggle room in the podcast. “Sex and Broadcasting” (the book by Lorenzo Milam that inspired this podcast) had a similar problem — Lorenzo ran out of stuff to say [...]

Patrick contributed a great “how podcasts can help with a recovery effort” idea — equip recovery workers with MP3 players filled with basic-info podcasts in different languages. That way, when they are out in the field, they can communicate with people even if they don’t speak the language. Those same MP3 devices could [...]

This podcast explores how podcasts could help a community get ready for a disaster like Katrina. I volunteered to be the citizen spearhead of the Y2k preparation project for my town - St Paul, MN - back in the late ’90’s. Our team relied a lot on stuff that FEMA provided, most notably [...]

This is the last in this trio of podcasts about how podcasting and podcasters could help with the Katrina relief effort. I’m a hands-on type guy — I’m looking for what podcasters can DO to help. So if you’re a podcaster, this means YOU. If you’re friends with a podcaster, forward this [...]

In any endeavor, it’s good to know what your goals are. After all, it doesn’t make much difference which way you turn the wheel at the end of your driveway if you don’t know which way west is. I make my living repairing projects that have gone off the rails and i always [...]
